Idea 1:
Try using the DEFAULT values for those optional args.

Idea 2:
Perhaps LDAP itself has special characters that are "wildcard" and you can
use those for the arguments. I would try "*" myself...

Idea 3:
Are you sure the arguments are even meaninful if you pass nothing for 4th
and 5th and something for the 6th?... This may be a restriction of LDAP
rather htan PHP.

Idea 4:
Try NULL for both args.

Idea 5:
Put *NOTHING* between the commas for the 4th/5th args.
